Washington Dispatch to Pitisbnroh Commercial Gai1le
It is now stated that the position OF Soc.
retasy Of the Treasury will be offered to
Hon. George II. Pendleton when Mr..
Manning shall retire. An intimate friend
OF Mr.. Psndleton says that tho President,
ina personal communication (that did not
pass through ths State Depnrtment), re-
quested the Ohio statesman to return for
the purpose OF consultation. q No intima-
ton was conveyed to Mr.. Pendleton that
any other position would be rendered him.
"1n conversation with the President
relating to Mr.. Psndleton," said this gen.
tleman, something was said about Mr..
pendleton's violent greenback heresy OF
fifteen years ago. That don't matter
now, waa the Presidents answer. The
greenback question ia not now in politics,
80 it can make no difference Then, too,
the Cincinnati Enquirer is against him, i
continued. The President looked at me
steadily for moment. Then noticed a
dull red flush slowly spread all over his
face. DIN the Cincinnati Eaguirer,'
said he; 1t was the paper which gave the
first publicity to that yillainous lie about
mo in 1884. am glad to hear it is op-
posed to Pendleton. 1t makes him very
much stronger in my estimation never
saw more vehement bitterness exhibited
in any ones coun.enance than was shown
in, the Presidentsin this conversation"
